My 'Mum ' and sisters-in-law there are fantastic cooks and I really miss the quisine. I can honestly say that 'Desh ' offer top quality dishes with authentic flavours backed up by rich, mouth-watering aromas. When I close my eyes and taste their offerings, I could almost be back on the roof of my Bangladeshi family 's house... hearing the bustle of the busy market village below, and the unmistakable, haunting chant of the Mosque drifting through the warm, still evening air.... difficult to describe to one who has not been there!!! However, I digress. The food is the most authentic I 've tasted West of Dhaka, and the staff are warm, welcoming and exude the natural friendliness of their countrymen back home. I would recommend this little place as a gem to eat in or takeaway. The restaurant is not licensed, but you are welcome to take your own beverages and there is no charge for corkage. Go!!! Book now!!! Tell them Sam sent you!!!!
